For Japanese people anime are all sorts of drawn animation. It's only us Westeners that are picky about it, I guess. I think same goes for manga.

anime is japanese for cartoon animation

if you bring disney movie to japan, they will called it anime

if we talking about art style. IMO it doesn't feel "japanese anime". like A said it more like "deviant art anime". whether you called that anime is up to you. I am not since there is different between deviant and pixiv. dont ask me why and how since I dont do art degree but they certainly feel different

by that logic all western cartoons will be called anime,
but i would still agree since whether it is a cartoon or anime they are are both technically 'animation'. anime is simply used for foreigners to differentiate western animation to Japanese animation

Back on topic. Ruby actually interested me the most because I couldn't figure her out when I watched the trailers. Weiss looks like the emotionless waif, Blake is the badass mercenary, and Yang is the "what you see is what you get" girl. But Yang is my favorite character so far for her straightforwardness compared to the enigmatic heroines around her.
